Rigobert Song is the cousin of Alex Song. Rigobert played for Liverpool in 99-00 among other clubs.
Rigobert was laughing at the way Carragher played defense so in practice Carragher nailed him with a rough tackle.
He started out at Metz.
i had no idea that song played for liverpool
"Song walked on to the training pitch with a smile on his face. He was limping off it with a grimace an hour later. The first chance I got, I did him. Never have I hunted down a 50–50 tackle with greater appetite. 'You're not ****ing laughing now, are you, you soft cunt?' I said as he hobbled away."
:icon_lol:
i remember him from lens
lens had a lot of africans
now they are in 2nd division
there's an interesting story on how he went to europe
he sent many letters to european clubs
at metz, his letter was in the trash (because he was just an obscure defender) but his friend jacques songoo, cameroon's goalkeeper, who played at metz back then, told the manager to give him a chance
here's an interesting thread about klinsmann:
http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/...linsmann-kinder-and-german-americans.1793385/
Christian Herrera and Jonathan Klinsmann are two of the more interesting cast members of a goalkeeper group that features six players this week at the U.S. U14 National Camp.
...
Count Herrera and Klinsmann - the only two of the bunch who were not a part of last month's U14 gathering - among those happy that it is.
Klinsmann, that would be the son of German great Jurgen Klinsmann, is making his first ever appearance in camp in what's been a major highlight for a kid who has seen a lot in his young career.
eddie johnson, who scored against antigua, explains why klinsmann called him:
credit goes to sigi schmid
[...]
"we talk about, in this business, about relationships
fortunately my coach is of german background
and him and klinsmann have a good relationship
and he told me from day one
from doing the business here
he has a good relationship with klinsmann
you'll know he'll put a good word in with me
[...]
"going into this game the coach had a ton of confidence in me
put me out wide on the wing
my teammates had a bunch of confidence in me
so it's easy to come in these camp when everyone believes in you
and the coach believes in you from day one"
i also realised that fellaini, an arab playing for belgium, was the son of a professional player (goalkeeper)
also, benjamin stambouli who plays at montpellier and started at marseille is the son of henri stambouli, who's responsible of the youth categories at marseille...
i also heard a scout saying on a radio show that in cameroon everything is corrupted, especially when it comes to picking young players (he said that to explain cameroon's bad results recently - they lost to cape verde and won't be at the next african cup of nations)
